Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will footnoted continue to be free?
The main site will remain free and is designed to be supported by advertising and/or speaking fees.

Q: Why should I subscribe to footnotedPro when the blog is free?
footnoted was never designed to focus on actionable information or ideas. While some of the information reported on the site over the years has proven to be actionable, the site's primary goal has and will continue to be uncovering unusual and under-reported items in SEC filings that are more newsy than actionable.

Q: Will footnotedPro material ever be available on the free site?
Periodically, we may make some limited subscription-based material available on the free site to illustrate a point or a particular trend, but it will only be available in summary format and only after a significant delay to protect the value of the subscription-based product.

Q: How frequently do footnotedPro reports come out?
The schedule is based largely on filings flow, though we do try to provide at least one new report a week. In addition, subscribers also get a weekly spreadsheet called the Red Flag Alert that provides brief descriptions of disclosures the footnoted team considers significant. The RFA is sent out every Sunday evening.

Q: How much does footnotedPro cost?
Access to footnotedPro is $10,000 per year for a single-user license. We also offer access for $3,000 per quarter.

Q: Will we be able to speak to footnotedPro analysts one on one if we have any questions about the research?
Not at this time, although we are exploring that option, which would cost additional, in the future.

Q: Is there a custom-research option?
Not at this time. But we are exploring that option and might offer this service in the near future.

Please contact Todd Serpico with any additional questions you may have.
